Light rail to Folsom not to be restored until Thursday

Light rail service continues to be disrupted to Folsom due damage to overhead transit power lines.

Regional Transit reported over the weekend that a large oak tree fell near Folsom Boulevard and Blue Ravine Road during stormy conditions Sunday, preventing light rail service.

RT officials report today that light rail service to and from Folsom is not expected to be restored until Thursday.

RT crews are working to repair extensive damage. Various repairs are needed for a half-mile section of power lines, traction poles and hardware.

Once repairs are made, RT will need to conduct testing to make sure the system is correctly operating.

RT has shuttle buses carrying passengers between the Historic Folsom station, Glenn station and the Iron Point station to the Sunrise station. Service between the Hazel station and the Sunrise station has been restored.

Service updates will be posted at www.sacrt.com where website viewers can click on "Bus and Light Rail Service Disruptions."

Light rail service on the Gold Line from the Hazel station to downtown Sacramento and on the Blue Line and Green Line is not affected by the Folsom disruption.

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
